I ain't much on birthday threads these days. As I get older and stinkier, acknowledging the accident of one's arrival on this planet seems to be more and more something to be dreaded than celebrated. OK, that's more on me than you guys.
In any event, hats off and beers up for Guitar Shark, who's birthday is today, a guy that remains one of the handful of folks I've "known" throughout a decade or so of mindless internet activity that still wants to occasionally respond to my rather (at times) pointless ramblings.
All the best to you and yers, brother man. And many, many more.
(Sweet, Tap-Dancing Baby Jesus, some of these pictures on Google Image are too profoundly dumb, stupid or merely insipid for words, let alone use. )
